Would you think it’s smart to contribute to my new 401k while I’m still building my emergency fund? Shouldn’t I wait and get my emergency fund built asap before looking into my 401k?

I don't think saving for an emergency fund or contributing to a 401k is a dumb idea.

If your focus is emergency fund you can contribute less to your 401k. My idea is you setup the plan and contributions and you can adjust the amount later as a smaller undertaking than having to get setup first.
